im 6'0ish and 180ish and im looking for a ski thats realy soft and fun, but can still hold up on jumps, it will be 100% park, with65% jibs and35% jumps. are the lizzies a good idea? or is there something else that better fits this criteria? +k for opinions

Its a damn fun ski and holds up in the pow pow, but they already started to delam so i ran a bead of super glue around the edge of the top sheet and they stopped peeling

I have lizzys and never really use them in the park, They are fun on jumps for sure, but I think if your gonna be doing like 65% jibs you might wanna look into something a little more skinny. But that is just for my ski preference,

Yo i'm in the same boat as you size wise and i have the afterbangs and i love them. I haven't hit any jumps with them but if you're really looking for a soft ski they're great. The anthems would be a tiny bit stiffer so they'd handle jumps better too.

^^^ truth,  plus the fact that you're gonna be doing 65% jibs, IMO sounds like the line anthems would be the ski for for you,    soft, fun as hell, butter zones! symmetrical, sick for rails and jumps, totally rad..........  i ski anthems and i love them to death and i around your size too,   im 6'0 165 lbs

im around the same size as you and rode lizzies as my park ski last year, they were def a ton of fun, but i would have loved them to be a bit longer.  I would say they are just a bit too small for us.

I agree that the Elizabeths might be a tad on the short side for you.  My vote goes to the Anthems as well- definitely a great ski for what you are looking to do.
